I dreamt that Brown had a city campus in Singapore, near Orchard Road, but students were advised not to venture near Orchard too often because terrorists frequently targeted the area with suicide bombings, car bombings and the like. Not that college students cared about such petty restrictions, so we frequented Orchard anyway.
Much earlier on, I had a dream about Queen Elizabeth I and her lover travelling through time to land, by accident, off the eastern coast of the United States, where they were retrieved from the wreckage of their time-ship by Americans and I acted as interpreter because the Queen understood not American English. Interestingly enough, she didn't understand modern British English either, so I attempted German that, surprisingly, worked.
I've also had a few more airport-related nightmares, that were simply no fun.
Homework is coming, alas. And I recently learned that angioplasty, the procedure by which they insert a tube into the femoral artery, snake it up through the aorta, and inflate a balloon in a choked coronary artery to widen it, is conducted while the patient is fully conscious. Much like laser eye surgery. How I love bio classes.
